The beet event was also all about old Dutch vessels.
One of the most well know and beautiful one is this one. A Tjalk . We do have a lot of traditional boats keep and restore by people that loves them. Often use for rent and having trips. A lot is also use as a house boat.
This pic. could be made in 1800 only the road was in those day`s a sand path,
`` A jaagpad``
What an amazing scene - straight out of the 18th century. The horses are magnificent. Thanks for sharing this bit of your history. Glad to know that boats like that are well cared for.
Nice shot of this horse drawn barge. I've seen modern horse drawn barges full of tourists in Calderdale, West Yorkshire, but this sight of a traditional vessel is much better!
fav. too...looking at this beautiful Tjal and the horses pulling it gives you a glimps of what it was like in the olden days. beautifully captured, Ferry.
It is wonderful to keep the past alive like this. So beautiful. Wish I could be there but appreciate your photos to see something I never would have in life. FAV
